I would very strongly recommend this approach. It's worked quite well for me. There are so many ways to split out application environments in k8s (namespaces being one, generated prefixes in a helm template being another) that you should really try to use your cluster as a single compute resource. Maybe segregate for prod if you're not confident in your ability to lock it down, but everything else should just be creating/scaling pods, then adding nodes to the cluster when it runs out of compute.
